MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
078. LAST PRIZE

At six o'clock in the morning Prothos opened the door of the penthouse when someone pressed the bell. He had just contacted the receptionist to ask for her room to be cleaned immediately. After the girl who spent the night with him he wanted to continue his sleep but the dirty sheets always made him uncomfortable.

"Where's Mona?" Prothos asked as he opened the door. The one who came was not Mona but someone else who was also a housekeeper.

"He's on holiday." Reply to the substitute girl Mona with an enchanted look at the good looks of Prothos.

"Why are we on holiday? Just got into work." Prothos murmured walking in. "Clean everything out lest there be any dust or other dirt."

After saying so Prothos exited the penthouse to the restaurant for breakfast.

"He's very handsome." Said the janitor.

...***...

"Ato, where exactly is Oto?" Leo asked as he approached Athos who was in the kitchen making breakfast. "Since yesterday he's not around, and he's not coming home. Where's she? Don't hide anything about him from me."

"It's still early and you're also just coming home, don't get mad like that." Athos washes his hands and releases the apron he is wearing. "I'm also still feeling tired at this time dad, so don't get angry just yet." Athos sat before his father.

"Geez, what a tumben you complained about. You're all right, right? Are you sick or are you going to die today?"

Athos laughed at his father's rant.

"Oto's in trouble, you don't scold him dad, he'll get further if you do. He is very sensitive especially when in trouble. It's been two weeks that she hasn't been to school, and since Sunday she hasn't been home." Athos said after that drink the coffee he made.

"The boy was the most troublesome. He's the one who worries me the most from the three of you. I don't know what he's interested in in his life. You and Ars are clear on the direction of your life, but Oto, even I don't know his talent. There's nothing he's really interested in in his life." Leo said very upsetly. "If it's bad I'll kill him right away. He won't be able to live with just a handsome face."

"You're wrong dad. From the very beginning Oto most clearly saw his future, just because of your ego who always wanted us all to excel at our academics and talents, you didn't see anything Oto had."

"Be quiet, don't teach me!" Leo was upset. "I give you the responsibility to take care of both your twin and your sister. But right now it seems like your own problems are making you unable to take care of them. You don't usually ask me to come home like that. You just realized how hard it is to take care of all of you with your stubborn and unruly disposition?!"

Athos was silent. The young man knew what his father said was right. He himself asked that his father quickly go home because everything that happened made him unable to take care of everything alone.

"I heard that Tasya is getting married today. You don't act stupid, you better not come and take care of the cafe that's going to open today."

"I've told you a lot, Dad, don't forbid me for everything I've started. I won't listen to anyone." Athos answered with a stern look mixed with annoyance at his father. "Today help me handle the cafe that will open, I will go to Tasya's wedding. You told us yourself that we should keep trying to do what was best for our relationship, and I wanted to do it so that I wouldn't regret everything that would happen later."

Leo looked deeply at his eldest son who said all of that with great confidence. He knew that no one would be able to forbid his son from doing everything he wanted to do.

"I need your support, Dad."

Lion woke up from sleep when his phone rang. Time has shown at nine in the morning. With his eyes closed he fumbled to find the location of the phone placed near his head. Since last night Lion is still trying to find the whereabouts of Prothos to put his phone near him while asleep.

"Lion, we've managed to hack it." Ivan.

"really?" Lion immediately sat down and his drowsiness disappeared instantly. "Then did you see his name on the tenant list?"

"Unfortunately there is not." Answer Ivan. "But I just got word that Mona works at the hotel where Niko used to live."

"Gosh, I just remembered. Mona told me about it before." Lion. "I'm pretty sure Oto's in the penthouse Niko lives first."

"Then what are you gonna do? The distance from here to there takes at least three hours on a weekday, right now the weekend streets are definitely crowded and it takes a long time to get from here to there and from there to here, while the wedding is one o'clock this afternoon. It's also impossible for us to ask our friends who are there without telling Niko first." Ivan said on the other end of the phone.

"I'll call Mona, hopefully she can go to Oto and tell him to go to Ato immediately to prevent her from doing that reckless plan. Give me Mona's phone number."

Lion immediately contacted Mona, but Mona who was off and not working turned off her phone. The girl intends to rest all day in the dorm room of the hotel employee where she works.

"Arrgghh shit, his phone's off." Lion muttered.

Lion immediately sent Mona a message to contact her after the girl read the message.

Melody went into Athos' room to say something to her brother but Athos was not in his room. Melody looked at a box on the Athos desk.

"What's Melo?" Athos asked who suddenly came from under the stairs saw Melody standing in the doorway of her room.

"Sister, me and Niko are coming to the wedding—"

"Yes, you just come. Brother will also come there." Sambar Athos's.

"Would you not come?" Ask Melody.

Athos smiled in response to his sister's words. Melody immediately hugged her brother with a sad feeling.

"Alright, you have to go to the cafe for a minute." Athos said after that he went into the room to put his cell phone and walked back out of the room.

"Do I have to go with you and accompany you to the party, brother? Niko will understand." Ask Melody.

Athos smiled again to reject him after he went into the bathroom.

Melody turned her head into Athos' room when she heard the sound of vibrations from Athos' cell phone. Then walked up to her sister's desk and saw Tasya's name appear on the screen. Tasya called Athos many times after the young man no longer blocked his number.

"Sister Tasya, it's Melody." Answer Melody.

"Melody, thank God you picked up." Answer Tasya. "I kept calling but even though Ato didn't answer. What do I have to do now? I love your sister very much, and I don't want to get married but your sister avoids me."

"Sir Ato is also going to your wedding, brother." Answer Melody. "He won't let you get married. I felt that way when I saw her smile."

Melody ended the call from Tasya. He looked towards the box that was on the study table and immediately opened it. Inside is a pink dress made by Athos and a letter. Doubtfully Melody took the letter and opened it.

Melody shed her tears as she read the one sentence in the message from her brother for the girl she loved.

Will this be my last gift?
